accuracy from the penalty spot in scoring one of his two goals for Manchester City in a 4-1 win at Stoke in the Premier League Antworten

STOKE, England -- Sergio Aguero rediscovered his accuracy from the penalty spot in scoring one of his two goals for Manchester City in a 4-1 win at Stoke in the Premier League on Saturday.The Argentina striker failed to score from two penalties in a Champions League playoff match on Tuesday, but converted a 27th-minute effort to set City on its way to a second straight league victory to open the season.Aguero then headed in a whipped free kick by Kevin De Bruyne in the 36th for 2-0, making it six goals already this season for Citys star striker.Bojan Krkic pulled a goal back for Stoke from the penalty spot in the 49th, and City fought to preserve its lead in the second half while playing against the wind before substitute Nolito scored two late tap-ins.Both of the penalties in the match -- given at corner-kick situations -- might not have been so readily awarded in previous years, but referees appear to be clamping down at the start of this season under new directives.City got the first penalty when Stoke center back Ryan Shawcross was punished for pulling back Nicolas Otamendi, who had stolen a yard at a corner. Stokes penalty was perhaps softer, with winger Raheem Sterling adjudged to have impeded Shawcross as he attempted to mark the much taller defender without even looking at the ball.As usual this time of the year, theres a directive out there and certain teams might get penalized for that, Stoke manager Mark Hughes said. Thats fine, as long as its consistent right from now and the end of the season. Usually it isnt, so well have to wait and see. That penalty award shook us, really.City manager Pep Guardiola said teams will have to adjust, because the refs are so curious about what happens in the box.City has won its first three matches under Guardiola -- two in the league and the 5-0 victory over Steaua Bucharest in the Champions League playoffs -- and Aguero, in particular, looks to be thriving under the Spanish coach.He scored in last weekends 2-1 win over Sunderland that kicked off the Guardiola era, then a hat trick against Steaua -- despite missing twice from the spot.Aguero retained penalty-taking duties and made no mistake to put City ahead against Stoke, sending former City goalkeeper Shay Given the wrong way. Agueros goal against Sunderland was also a penalty.After Bojan reduced the deficit, Stokes players took a more direct route to put pressure on Citys defense with the wind behind them. Guardiola said Friday that playing at Stoke was the toughest away game in the Premier League, but City held firm.Nolito, one of Citys eight offseason signings, came on for Jesus Navas in the 69th and clinched only Citys second win in nine Premier League trips to Stoke.The Spain forward finished off from inside the six-yard box in the 86th after fellow substitute Kelechi Iheanacho broke through and rounded Given. Then, five minutes into stoppage time, Iheanacho dummied a long ball through and Sterling ran through, before passing sideways to Nolito who stroked the ball into an empty net.Its not easy because we played in midweek, City captain Pablo Zabaleta said, but we produced a great performance and great team spirit from the first minute.

The Cleveland Indians, Tampa Bay Rays, and Texas Rangers all won on Sunday meaning the Rangers will host the Rays in a play-in game on Monday. FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Darrelle Revis stood at his locker for the second time in three days, rehashing one of the worst days of his NFL career.Seeing the New York Jets star cornerback get burned time and again by Cincinnatis A.J. Green on Sunday was stunning. The whispers about whether Revis shutdown skills have suddenly diminished have also grown louder.Im fine, Revis insisted Tuesday. Passes get caught, and theyve gotten caught on me before and touchdowns have been scored on me. Its just getting back to the Xs and Os of things and just correcting certain things, and thats just about it.Green caught 12 passes for 180 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals 23-22 victory, mostly with Revis on him. The most eye-popping of all was the 54-yarder Green caught from Andy Dalton, with Revis trailing him into the end zone.It was easy to point the finger at the cornerback, but it wasnt entirely Revis fault. He was supposed to have safety help on the play, but it never came. And, it cost the Jets -- and set the tone for an uncharacteristically long day for Revis.Most of those plays, I was right there, Revis said. The busted coverage, Im supposed to get help, but at the same time, it is what it is. Like Ive said, I can take a punch.Still, it was strange to see so many plays being made against him, especially when the Jets implied last week that Revis wouldnt be the only one responsible for Green.Revis said its not weird to be fielding so many questions about what went wrong and what needs to be fixed.Because Ive been through the trenches, he said. You bounce back. Thats all you can do. Just bounce back.Is he feeling good about being able to bounce back Thursday night against Buffalo?Im very confident, he said. Like I said, Ive been through the trenches. Its nothing new.Revis could face Sammy Watkins, who is dealing with discomfort in his surgically repaired left foot but said hell be fine to play. In last seasons finale, Watkins finished with 11 catches for 136 yards while mostly going up against Revis. In the teams first meeting, Revis helped hold Watkins to just three catches for 14 yards.I got him the first game, but I dont even look at it like that, Revis said. My job is to keep guys to the minimum if Im covering them, the minimum catches -- and thats what you want from the whole secondary, all of us.But for most of his 10 seasons, Revis has been almost automatic when it comes to keeping othher teams top receivers off the stats sheet and out of the end zone.ddddddddddddThe first real sign of a crack in the foundation was Houstons DeAndre Hopkins catching five passes for 118 yards and two scores last November, with Revis on him most of the game.The fact his past two games have not been vintage Revis has led some to question whether Revis Island is gone -- maybe forever.Everybodys going to be down on Revis because he has a poor game or whatever, said Buffalo coach Rex Ryan, who coached Revis for four years with the Jets. The thing about Revis is, if hes slipped at all as a player, hes coming down from the very tip of Everest. Thats where hed be coming down from.So how far down, Im not sure. But I know one thing: I know the kind of player he is.Jets coach Todd Bowles acknowledged that Revis, who continued his tradition of practicing this summer in sweats and multiple layers to get in shape, has the freedom to play press-man or off coverage on every play, leaving it up to his star cornerback.Hes pretty sharp mentally, Bowles said, and understands how people are trying to come at him.During his one season with New England in 2014, Revis was often used one-on-one on opponents No. 2 receivers while Bill Belichick double-teamed the No. 1s.Weve done it before and weve looked at it, Bowles said if thats something he has considered. Weve talked about it. Certain games will require that.Despite his most recent performances and the increasing doubts from outside the Jets facility, Revis says theres no added motivation.No, Im fine, man, he said. Its a long season. Nobody, we as a team, can dwell on Sunday. Weve got to move forward. Theres a quick turnaround and we play Thursday, so weve got to move on.Game notes The Jets waived TE Braedon Bowman to make room on the roster for DL Sheldon Richardson, who returned from his one-game suspension Monday. ... LB Jordan Jenkins (calf) and QB Bryce Petty (right shoulder) did not practice, and neither is expected to be available Thursday. DE Muhammad Wilkerson (ankle, toe nail removed), LB Bruce Carter (shoulder), LB David Harris (shoulder) and CB Darryl Roberts (foot) were limited.---AP Sports Writer John Wawrow in Orchard Park, New York, contributed.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
